I certainly hope at some point that something more useful than who feels what about religion and politics actually comes from this list. What we have instead is folks that are set in their ways for one side or the other locked in perpetual debate that won't change the minds or opinions of the others.
Why not propose a tech question or topic to discuss in a new thread?
-John Frakes
If a person cannot clearly explain their position on any number of general social issues, we can safely infer that they cannot do the same on tech related topics as well. Ever tried to explain the concept of giving away the software, but selling support to a regular person in a business mindset? You better know your economics and business strategy or they'll think you are a loon for giving up the chance to get income from individual sales of the software. Sometimes a discussion might not be directly topical for the list, but it relates to the larger issue in many ways that take some thought in finding.
